Does the CSV file contain the same data as the JSON file?

This article helps you choose the right format for your North Data data exports.

JSONL (JSON separated with new lines): This is the right choice if you intend to process the data with a programming language. It is the same format as our API, so if you are also working with the API, you should choose this.

CSV (Comma-separated values) with UTF-8 as encoding: This is the right choice if you want to open and process the data with tools such as Excel.

The CSV does not contain the same data as the JSON format:

Specifically:

  • The number of legal representatives is limited to 5.

  • No historical data is included (only the latest financial year is shown).

  • Only one industry segment is shown.

  • Relationships to other companies are not included.

More details can be found in our CSV data contents.

Please note that although it is theoretically possible to open CSV files in Excel, very large data sets may be too large to process there. You can find more information on our CSV export page.

The XXL export is not available as a CSV file.
